I've been dark for a while, between traveling for the holiday, and then the flu. And while being sick sucks, there is one great thing about it: it helps you realize how many super-duper-ultra-extra-mega-awesome friends you have. To everyone who has brought provisions, come by to check on me, or even checked in virtually to offer help or support: I hope you all know how much you are truly appreciated! It means more than you know.

On a lighter (or more accurately, darker) note, Rich and I were joking about what we would say if the flu killed me. I mean, there are many of exciting ways to risk your life, but nobody wants to die of the flu.

I told him to start jazzing up the story now, so he could tell me what he would tell people, so I could illustrate it. Are you confused yet? Here is how Rich would tell people that I died, and my resultant illustration:

I love drawing, telling stories, good friends, good food, traveling, animals, and discovering inspiration and adventure wherever I may be. I hike, run, Scuba dive, rock climb, snowboard... and take a lot of photos. Insatiable curiosity. Never miss an opportunity for fun. And I capture it all with my camera and my sketchbook, 'cause I'm a ninja like that.
